[0042] In related technologies, most control switches are fixed-damping products. However, in actual use, different users have significantly different preferences for damping feel, and fixed-damping control switches cannot meet diverse needs.

[0043] The smart switch provided in this application embodiment can be a smart button or a smart knob. By contacting the sensing element with the damping element, the rotational damping of the housing can be adjusted by adjusting the damping element. This allows users to flexibly adjust the rotational damping of the smart switch according to their own operating habits and needs, thereby improving the customization and diversification of the smart switch.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 This application provides an embodiment of a smart switch, which includes:

[0045] The housing 1 and the circuit board 2 are disposed inside the housing 1;

[0046] The sensor 3 is disposed inside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The sensor 3 can sense the rotation operation of the housing 1.

[0047] Damping element 4 is disposed inside the housing 1 and in contact with the sensing element 3. The damping element 4 can adjust the rotational damping of the housing 1 according to the type of rotational operation sensed by the sensing element 3.

[0048] The types of rotation operations include one or more of rotation direction, rotation speed, and rotation angle.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the housing 1 provides physical protection for the circuit board 2, sensing element 3, damping element 4, and other components inside the smart switch, ensuring that each component can be flexibly arranged and operate stably within the housing 1. The circuit board 2 can receive the rotation operation signal transmitted from the sensing element 3, process and analyze the rotation operation signal, and generate corresponding control commands according to a preset program and algorithm to control the damping element 4.

[0050] See Figure 1 The sensor 3 can monitor the rotation of the housing 1 in real time, convert the physical information of the rotation (such as rotation angle, rotation direction and rotation speed) into electrical signals and transmit them to the circuit board 2, so that the smart switch can sense the user's operation intention and provide a basis for the generation of subsequent control commands.

[0051] In one embodiment, the smart switch can implement a variety of different control functions according to different rotation methods and parameters. For example, different rotation angles can correspond to different operation commands, and different rotation speeds can trigger different response speeds, thus providing the possibility for diversified control of the smart switch.

[0052] The damping element 4 contacts the sensing element 3. By adjusting the physical deformation or magnetic force change of the damping element 4, the rotational damping of the housing 1 can be adjusted according to the rotational operation sensed by the sensing element 3. This allows users to flexibly adjust the rotational damping of the smart switch according to their operating habits and needs, thereby improving the customization and versatility of the smart switch. Users can more accurately sense and control the rotational operation when operating the smart switch, improving the precision and comfort of operation, and ultimately enhancing the overall user experience.

[0053] In one embodiment, when the rotation direction of the rotation operation is clockwise, the magnitude of the rotational damping of the smart switch is proportional to the magnitude of the rotational speed; when the rotation direction of the rotation operation is counterclockwise, the magnitude of the rotational damping of the smart switch is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the rotational speed, so that the user can clearly feel the change in damping caused by the change in the operating speed when rotating the smart switch in different directions.

[0054] In one embodiment, when the sensor 3 senses a rotational operation applied to the smart switch, corresponding to a small clockwise rotation (e.g., rotation angle less than 30°), a large clockwise rotation (e.g., rotation angle greater than or equal to 30°), a small counterclockwise rotation (e.g., rotation angle less than 30°), and a large counterclockwise rotation (e.g., rotation angle greater than or equal to 30°), the damping element 4 can generate a first rotational damping, a second rotational damping, a third rotational damping, and a fourth rotational damping on the housing 1 according to different rotational operations. The first rotational damping, the second rotational damping, the third rotational damping, and the fourth rotational damping increase sequentially to provide the user with different control operation feel.

[0055] In addition, different rotational damping can correspond to different operation functions of the smart switch; for example, when the damping element 4 generates the first rotational damping, the second rotational damping, the third rotational damping and the fourth rotational damping on the housing 1 respectively, the video switching, brightness increase, brightness decrease and video pause of the device applied by the smart switch are executed accordingly.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The sensing element 3 includes a rotating disk 31 and a sensor;

[0057] The rotating disk 31 can rotate synchronously with the housing 1. The sensor is used to detect the rotation direction, rotation speed and rotation angle of the rotating disk 31. The damping element 4 is in contact with the rotating disk 31.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the rotating disk 31 and the sensor are integrated into the sensing element 3, forming a fully functional rotation detection module. This makes the structure of the sensing element 3 more compact, reduces the space occupied inside the smart switch, and facilitates the miniaturization design of the smart switch. The rotating disk 31 and the sensor work together, with the rotating disk 31 serving as the rotation carrier and the sensor as the core detection component. Their collaborative work enables accurate and efficient detection of the rotation of the housing 1, providing reliable data support for subsequent damping adjustment and control command generation.

[0059] The rotating disk 31 can be fixedly connected to the rotating part of the housing 1. The rotating disk 31 rotates synchronously with the housing 1, ensuring that the rotation operation of the housing 1 can be accurately transmitted to the rotating disk 31. The rotation information of the rotating disk 31 detected by the sensor is equivalent to the rotation information of the housing 1, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of rotation detection.

[0060] The damping element 4 contacts the rotating disk 31, allowing it to directly generate resistance to the rotation of the disk 31. This adjusts the rotational damping of the housing 1, making the damping adjustment more sensitive and accurate, and enabling real-time adjustment of the rotational damping according to the user's operational needs. Furthermore, through contact with the rotating disk 31, the damping element 4 maintains a tight fit, avoiding instability in damping adjustment caused by gaps or looseness, thus improving the reliability and stability of the damping adjustment.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The sensor includes an optical sensor 32, which can detect the rotation direction, rotation speed, and rotation angle of the rotating disk 31 based on changes in the intensity of light reflected from the rotating disk 31. In other words, after the light emitted by the optical sensor 32 is reflected by the rotating disk 31, by detecting changes in the intensity of the reflected light, the optical sensor 32 can accurately identify whether the rotating disk is rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, and monitor the rotation speed and rotation angle of the rotating disk in real time, thus achieving precise identification and measurement of the rotation direction, rotation speed, and rotation angle.

[0062] In other embodiments, the sensor includes a Hall sensor, and a magnetic element is provided on the rotating disk 31. The Hall sensor can detect changes in the magnetic field near the rotating disk 31, thereby determining whether the rotating disk is rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, and monitoring the rotation speed and rotation angle of the rotating disk, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of operating the smart switch.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The inner side of the rotating disk 31 forms a stop structure. The damping component 4 includes a driving component 41 and a push rod 42. The driving component 41 is electrically connected to the circuit board 2, and the push rod 42 is connected to the driving component 41 and can stop against the stop structure.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the stop structure of the rotating disk 31 provides a clear position for the push rod 42 to act. During damping adjustment, the push rod 42 can interact precisely with the stop structure, making the application of damping force more accurate and stable. When the push rod 42 applies a thrust, the stop structure can disperse and bear the thrust, reducing the possibility of deformation or damage to the rotating disk 31 under force, thereby ensuring the synchronous rotation of the rotating disk 31 and the housing 1.

[0065] The drive component 41 is linked with the signal of the sensor 3 to adjust the damping in real time according to different parameters of the rotation operation, thereby improving the performance of the smart switch and the user experience. Through electrical connection between the drive component 41 and the circuit board 2, the drive component 41 can receive control signals from the circuit board 2 and precisely control the movement of the push rod 42 according to a preset program and algorithm. This enables the intelligent adaptive adjustment of the rotation damping of the smart switch, automatically adjusting the damping magnitude based on user operating habits, application scenarios, and other factors.

[0066] Circuit board 2 can precisely control the current and voltage of the drive component 41, ensuring the motion accuracy and stability of the push rod 42. At the same time, through the feedback mechanism of circuit board 2, the position and status of the push rod 42 can be monitored in real time, enabling closed-loop control of the drive component 41, further improving the accuracy and reliability of damping adjustment.

[0067] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The push rod 42 serves as the force transmission medium between the drive component 41 and the rotating disk 31. It can accurately transmit the driving force generated by the drive component 41 to the stop structure of the rotating disk 31, thereby realizing the adjustment of the rotation damping of the rotating disk 31 and ensuring the real-time performance and accuracy of the damping adjustment.

[0068] In some embodiments, the drive component 41 can be a motor or a cylinder. The motor or cylinder drives the push rod 42 to abut against the stop structure, enabling flexible adjustment of the rotational damping of the rotating disk 31.

[0069] Specifically, the design of push rod 42 can be optimized according to different adjustment requirements. For example, by changing parameters such as the length, diameter, and material of push rod 42, the stiffness and coefficient of friction of push rod 42 can be adjusted to adapt to different damping adjustment ranges and precision requirements, ensuring smooth movement of push rod 42 during damping adjustment.

[0070] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The stop structure includes multiple stop protrusions 311 arranged in sequence.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the multiple sequentially arranged stop protrusions 311 ensure a certain continuity in damping adjustment. During the movement of the push rod 42, it gradually transitions from contacting one stop protrusion 311 to contacting the next stop protrusion 311, thus avoiding the influence of the push rod 42 on the rotation of the rotating disk 31.

[0072] By driving the push rod 42 toward the stop protrusion 311 by the drive component 41, the rotational damping of the rotating disk 31 can be flexibly adjusted, improving the comfort and smoothness of user operation.

[0073] In one embodiment, the stop protrusion 311 can be a flexible protrusion with a certain degree of elasticity. When the push rod 42 stops against the flexible protrusion, the flexible protrusion will deform to a certain extent. Compared with a rigid protrusion, the flexible protrusion can produce more subtle damping changes, avoiding obvious damping steps, and can also protect the push rod 42, ensuring the structural integrity of the push rod 42 during its operation.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The driving component 41 includes a solenoid, and the push rod 42 is fixed to the solenoid;

[0075] When the solenoid is energized, it can drive the push rod 42 to move linearly to stop against the stop structure.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the push rod 42 is disposed on the solenoid, for example, the solenoid includes an iron core, and the push rod 42 is fixedly connected to the iron core. The magnetic field generated by the solenoid after it is energized applies an electromagnetic force to the push rod 42. By precisely controlling the magnitude, direction and energizing time of the solenoid current, the magnitude and direction of the electromagnetic force can be precisely adjusted, thereby achieving precise control of the displacement and speed of the push rod 42, so that the push rod 42 can accurately stop against the stop structure, thereby adjusting the rotational damping of the housing 1 in real time, realizing the customization of the damping feel, and matching different feel according to different scenarios.

[0077] Specifically, the solenoid can be controlled to conduct using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). When the user rotates the smart switch, adjusting the PWM duty cycle (the ratio of the time during which a large current flows through the solenoid in a time period) can adjust the thrust of the push rod 42 to the stop structure. The greater the thrust, the greater the damping, thereby achieving variable damping adjustment when the smart switch rotates.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The housing 1 includes a bottom shell 11 and a rotating cover 12. The rotating cover 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom shell 11, and the rotating disk 31 is disposed inside the housing 1 and fixedly connected to the rotating cover 12.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the rotating cover 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom shell 11, providing reasonable layout space for internal components such as the rotating disk 31. The rotating disk 31 is disposed inside the shell 1 and fixedly connected to the rotating cover 12. The rotating disk 31 rotates synchronously with the rotating cover 12, making the entire structure more compact, making full use of the internal space of the shell 1, and helping to reduce the size of the smart switch.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the magnitude of the rotational damping of the housing 1 is proportional to the magnitude of the rotational speed during the rotational operation; or,

[0081] The magnitude of the rotational damping of housing 1 is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the rotational speed during rotation.

[0082] In the above embodiments, when the user performs a slow and precise rotation operation, the rotational damping can be relatively small due to the low rotational speed, making the operation easier and allowing the user to accurately control the rotation angle. This avoids excessive deviation in parameter adjustment due to operational errors and improves the stability of the operation.

[0083] Alternatively, when the user needs to quickly rotate housing 1, the rotational damping can decrease as the rotational speed increases, making operation easier and smoother. For example, when browsing large amounts of information or quickly switching interfaces using a smart switch, the user can quickly rotate housing 1, improving operational efficiency.

[0084] See Figure 3 This application also provides an operation feedback method for a smart switch, the operation feedback method including:

[0085] S301 receives rotation operations from the smart switch and determines the type of rotation operation;

[0086] By receiving operation commands for rotation, the smart switch can identify the user's actions, specifically determining whether the user has performed a rotation operation and the specific type of rotation operation (such as clockwise rotation, counterclockwise rotation, rotation speed, etc.). This provides accurate input information for subsequent damping adjustment, ensuring that the feedback mechanism can respond according to the user's actual operation.

[0087] The ability to receive operation commands enables smart switches to be compatible with various rotation operation methods, such as physical knobs, virtual knobs on touchscreens, or other input devices. As long as the corresponding operation command is generated, the smart switch can recognize and process it, improving its versatility and flexibility.

[0088] S302, in response to the type of rotation operation, adjust the rotational damping of the smart switch;

[0089] The type of rotation operation includes one or more of rotation direction, rotation speed, and rotation angle.

[0090] The damping element can adjust the rotational damping of the smart switch housing in real time according to the received operation commands, allowing the user to immediately feel the change in resistance during operation. This real-time feedback mechanism enables users to understand in a timely manner whether their operation meets expectations and whether the smart switch has correctly responded to the operation commands, enhancing the user's sense of control over the operation process.

[0091] By adjusting the type of rotational operation, the amount of rotational damping applied to the smart switch can be varied to achieve different rotational damping effects, such as linear damping, nonlinear damping, and step damping. Different damping effects can provide users with different operating experiences, meeting the needs of different application scenarios and users.

[0092] In some embodiments, the operation feedback method includes:

[0093] S401, determine the direction of rotation in the rotation operation;

[0094] S402, when the rotation direction of the rotation operation is clockwise, the magnitude of the rotational damping of the smart switch is proportional to the magnitude of the rotational speed;

[0095] When the rotation direction is counterclockwise, the rotational damping of the smart switch is inversely proportional to the rotational speed, allowing the user to clearly feel the change in damping caused by the change in operating speed when rotating the smart switch in different directions.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the housing of the smart switch rotates clockwise, the housing has a first rotational speed, a second rotational speed, and a third rotational speed that increase sequentially.

[0097] When the shell is at a first rotational speed, the rotational damping on the shell is the first damping; when the shell is at a second rotational speed, the rotational damping on the shell is the second damping; when the shell is at a third rotational speed, the rotational damping on the shell is the third damping.

[0098] Among them, the first damping, the second damping, and the third damping increase in sequence.

[0099] In the above embodiment, when the housing of the smart switch rotates clockwise, the faster the housing rotates, the greater the rotational damping fed back to the housing by the damping component; this allows the user to clearly feel the change in operational difficulty. This progressive feedback helps users better master operating skills and gradually improve their operational level, while also increasing the fun and challenge of operation.

[0100] In one embodiment, the push rod 42 is disposed inside the solenoid. When the housing rotates at a low speed (0.2 rpm), the PWM duty cycle can be adjusted to 40% to maintain the rotational damping of the housing in a low-damping state; when the housing rotates at a medium speed (0.5 rpm), the PWM duty cycle can be adjusted to 60% to maintain the rotational damping of the housing in a medium-damping state; and when the housing rotates at a high speed (2.0 rpm), the PWM duty cycle can be adjusted to 80% to maintain the rotational damping of the housing in a high-damping state.

[0101] In some embodiments, when the housing of the smart switch rotates counterclockwise, the housing has a fourth rotational speed, a fifth rotational speed, and a sixth rotational speed that increase sequentially.

[0102] When the shell is at the fourth rotational speed, the rotational damping on the shell is the fourth damping; when the shell is at the fifth rotational speed, the rotational damping on the shell is the fifth damping; when the shell is at the sixth rotational speed, the rotational damping on the shell is the sixth damping.

[0103] Among them, the fourth damping, the fifth damping, and the sixth damping decrease in sequence.

[0104] In the above embodiments, when the housing of the smart switch rotates counterclockwise, the faster the housing rotates, the smaller the rotational damping fed back to the housing by the damping component; at lower speeds (fourth rotational speed), greater damping can prevent users from excessively rotating due to misoperation; at higher speeds (sixth rotational speed), smaller damping can reduce the risk of loss of control due to inertia.

[0105] In one embodiment, the push rod 42 is disposed inside the solenoid. When the housing rotates at a low speed (0.2 rpm), the PWM duty cycle can be adjusted to 80% to maintain the rotational damping of the housing in a high-damping state; when the housing rotates at a medium speed (0.5 rpm), the PWM duty cycle can be adjusted to 60% to maintain the rotational damping of the housing in a medium-damping state; and when the housing rotates at a high speed (2.0 rpm), the PWM duty cycle can be adjusted to 40% to maintain the rotational damping of the housing in a low-damping state.

[0106] In one embodiment, when the sensor senses the rotation operation applied to the smart switch, corresponding to small-angle rotation (e.g., rotation angle less than 30°) and large-angle rotation (e.g., rotation angle greater than or equal to 30°), the damping element can generate a first rotational damping and a second rotational damping on the housing according to different rotation angles. The magnitude of the second rotational damping is greater than that of the first rotational damping, that is, the damping also increases accordingly as the rotation angle increases, so as to provide the user with different control operation feel.

[0107] In another embodiment, when the sensor detects a rotational operation applied to the smart switch, corresponding to a small clockwise rotation (e.g., less than 30°), a large clockwise rotation (e.g., greater than or equal to 30°), a small counterclockwise rotation (e.g., less than 30°), and a large counterclockwise rotation (e.g., greater than or equal to 30°), the damping element can generate a first rotational damping, a second rotational damping, a third rotational damping, and a fourth rotational damping on the housing according to the different rotational operations. The first rotational damping, the second rotational damping, the third rotational damping, and the fourth rotational damping increase sequentially, so that the user can more accurately perceive and control the rotational operation when operating the smart switch, thereby improving the accuracy and comfort of operation.

[0108] This application also provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned smart switch.

[0109] In the vehicle's smart switch, the damping component 4 contacts the sensing component 3. By adjusting the damping component 4, the rotational damping of the housing 1 can be adjusted. This allows users to flexibly adjust the rotational damping of the smart switch according to their operating habits and needs, thereby improving the customization and versatility of the smart switch. Users can more accurately perceive and control the rotational operation when operating the smart switch, improving the precision and comfort of operation, and ultimately enhancing the overall user experience.
